Major Upgrades to Domain of One's Own
We’re rolling out a new upgraded version of Domain of One’s Own this summer, and we have dedicated sessions for admins to find out what's in store. The upgrades will offer admins centralized and simplified administration, easier updates, increased security and more freedom in how your instance is themed.
Head over to our knowledge base to take a look at the updated documentation and look out for our communications to admins with more details and timelines closer to the time. Keen to learn more? Register now for our next Admin Workshop on September, 16.

Save the date: Reclaim Podcast Network launch
September 29
We’re working on something new… and it’s nearly time to unveil what’s in store for Reclaim’s new venture in podcasting. We love all things audio, from DS106 Radio to playing our favourite vinyl records, so it should come as no surprise that Team Reclaim loves podcasts, too.

... elsewhere in the blog-o-sphere: Blaugust returns!
On our Community Discord one of our hardy bloggers shared news that the Blaugust Festival of Blogging is back from August, 1st!
We want to pay our respects to Belghast (Mark Temple), the blogger and podcaster behind Tales of the Aggronaut who sadly passed away in early July. We salute the community organisers who are continuing the blogging festival this year.
If you are looking for a bit of extra blogging inspiration, why not check it out and get involved, and maybe write a post or two along the way.
